OT Mechanics: 2002 RX300

[NokiaDude]

I found a badly beaten 2002 RX300 w/18k miles in my city for $4k. The parent's kid took the RX300 out for a joy ride and ended up smashing into a wall around 25 mph. He says it runs well but the exterior body will have to be redone. I don't really care how it looks, just as long as it has windows. I can worry about the body later. From this pic the seller sent me, can you guess how much it would cost me to fix her up?

Unless you have the tools/skills to do it yourself, I'd steer clear.

There's a reason they're selling it for $4K, you think they want to hand you a 3 year old luxury car for $4K?

Thats no small project, it's a rebuilder. It would be really bad if the frame was bent.

how in the hell does that "run well" you cnat really drive without tires

Well is it a salvaged title? That should give you a clue how much. Also why not a pic of the damaged side? And the RX300 is a unibody.

It still starts. And he put it on stands and it went through all gears perfectly.

That means nothing. I bet you $4000 that the unibody is nicely tweaked. It will never be the same.
